2. Bangs, by TMBG
13. Lucy in the Sky With Diamons, by the Beatles.
16. Yoko Ono, by Barenaked Ladies
17. The Devil Went Down to Georgia, by the Charlie Daniels Band
20. Sympathy for the Devil, by the Rolling Stones

There are others at the edge of memory, but these are all I can muster at the moment.

Yup!

In this case, performed by William Shatner, which I tried to demonstrate with the gratuitous ellipses. :)

Yup.

Yes... I wondered whether or not I should X out "constant sorrow," but since it wasn't the full title I decided not to. Good job!

Ok, am desperately trying to work, but...

6. There's a lady who's sure all that glitters is gold is Stairway to Heaven - Led Zeppelin.

14. I heard you on my wireless back in '52... Buggles, Video Killed the Radio Star (or the Presidents of the USA cover).

22. I'm sittin' at the railway station, got a ticket for my destination... - Homeward Bound, Simon & Garfunkel

19. The bigger the cushion, the sweeter the pushin', that's what I said. - Big Bottoms, Spinal Tap

[eriktdahl]

#6 - Yes. Actually, I think it was the version performed by Rolf Harris.
#14 - The former, yes. If I remember correctly, the latter came up too and I skipped it.
#19 - Hee hee.
#22 - Cheers!

You know - I really should have bought the Money or the Gun sountrack when I had the chance. Oh well.

#8 "Driving in my car" by Madness?
#23 "Augustus Gloop" from Charlie etc.

I have the Rolf Harris version of the song and the Beatnix's cover, but that's all, and they're horrible quality because they came off of a cassette tape I recorded off the radio like fifteen years ago! :)

Correct on both counts, by the way.
